No the left image is the exact same decal but with self illumination off. The right is with self illumination on. I tried different values for self illumation (from 1 to 10 000) and always got the same mirror-like behavior.

I'll work on getting a sample file (the real project is kinda big to share)

Can't offer transparency or self illumination (I have not had to look for a solution for those yet), but here is method to use to simulate screens etc. It is simply painted on a face in Revit. If you burn the image in photoshop to over brighten the image, you simulate a light, however, it will not show up as a light in Revit or Enscape. (Just darkens like the rest of the room if you transition time in Enscape).

I needed a stained glass that would show "strong" in a walk through. This was a hack I made work for that application. I have not explored the PBR materials for the self lighting glass /transparency for Revit 2019 and Enscape. That doesn't mean they can't do it, I just haven't looked for that solution. This again was a quick hack to get the proper "look" in a walk through.

I did try the workarounds but they didn't really give the effect I was looking for. I ran out of time trying settings, but the self-illuminating material behind the decal washed out the decal image too much. The self illuminating material with the image included didn't work very well for one because it kept rotating and I couldn't get it aligned, and the other was a video wall, so it was 35 monitors in an array and I really didn't have time to make that many position adjustments. I'll keep playing with it, but a self illuminating decal would really solve it quickly.
